About this book
The lifecycle of an article — approximately six months — makes it essential to disseminate its key messages within hours of publication. That requires editors-in-chief who are well-versed in journalism and equipped with the latest publishing technologies.
The proliferation of low-quality journals is not primarily caused by poor articles, but by editors who lack interest, or who perform editorial duties under compulsion or as a secondary job. Editing should be the primary focus of every editor-in-chief.
This book introduces cutting-edge tools and technologies that enhance editorial work, enabling editors to promote their articles and reach a broader readership. The ultimate goal of publishing is to engage more readers and solve real-world challenges — and this book is highly recommended for journal editors and executive managers who want to improve their editorial processes.
